What we typically find in Clovelly homes
- Gravity-fed drainage struggling on steep coastal blocks
- Original clay pipes in interwar bungalows due for relining

Prevention Tips
- Don't overtighten taps - forcing them shut damages the washer and seat, causing drips sooner
- Fix dripping taps promptly - a single dripping tap wastes up to 20,000 litres per year
- Jiggling the toilet handle to stop running is a sign the flush valve or inlet valve needs replacing - quick to fix now, saves thousands in water bills later
- If you have hard water, descale showerheads and aerators every 6 months with white vinegar
Common Questions
Tap & Toilet Repairs in Clovelly - FAQ
Leaking from the base of the tap usually means the O-ring seal between the tap body and the basin or sink has failed, or the tap body itself has corroded through. If it's an O-ring, that's a straightforward repair. If the body has corroded through (common in Clovelly's coastal humidity, especially on cheaper taps), replacement is the way to go. We assess on site, advise honestly, and quote both options where it makes sense.
Usually not. A running toilet is typically a worn inlet valve or flush seal - we'll quote upfront before starting. Worth fixing quickly though - a running toilet can waste 25,000+ litres per quarter, which adds up on your water bill.
Most mixer taps can be repaired by replacing the ceramic cartridge - much cheaper than a new tap. If the tap body itself is corroded or the cartridge is obsolete, replacement is the way to go. We'll advise honestly.
If your taps are 15+ years old, yes. Modern WELS-rated fixtures use significantly less water without sacrificing pressure. The water savings often pay for the upgrade within a couple of years.
That's water hammer - caused by high water pressure or unsecured pipes. We can install a water hammer arrestor or pressure limiting valve to fix it. Left untreated, it can damage pipe joints over time.
A washer or cartridge replacement is typically a quick job; a full tap or cistern replacement costs more depending on the fixture. We quote after inspecting — you agree to the price before we start. $0 callout fee during business hours. A dripping tap wastes up to 20,000 litres per year, so it's worth fixing promptly.
